Fig. 3, is a top plan view of the cover, detached. Fig. 4, is a top view of the adjustable band which supports the removable arms, forming the lugs which hold the cover. Fig. 5, is a view of one of the removable arms.

B is a band adapted to surround the kettle and provided with up-turned ends -b- Fig. 2,

having means for securing said ends adj ustably together so as to vary the circumference 40 of said band, to adapt it to a large or small kettle, as may be desired.

C- is a cover constructed of sheet metal or any other material desired, and may be perforated on one side, as shown at e, and 5c provided with notches fin its periphery, said notches being the same distance apart as the arms cupon the band B so that when the cover is placed uponthe top of a kettle the notches will allow the cover 5 5 to drop down on to the edge of the kettle, then by giving it a lateral turn the cover will be securely held to the kettle.

It will be observed that this attachment may be readily detached from one vessel and used upon another of either greater or less size.
